Work & Research Experience
Visiting Student Researcher Sept. 2016 — Oct. 2016
TU-Munich Informatics Institute
Working on shape analysis for improving computer vision algorithms with the lab of Dr. Daniel Cremers.
UF Graduate Research Assistant Jan. 2012 — Present
UF CISE Department
I developed a shape representation that is useful for various applications. For instance, it enables standard
statistical methods to be applied to certain collections of shapes, which are often hard to model this way.
Past work involves developing algorithms for aligning point-clouds and images and estimating probability
functions from indirect observations.
I also work on detecting landmines and other explosive objects with Joe Wilson and Paul Gader. My
primary responsibility is developing and testing machine learning algorithms to detect the presence of a
mine from cluttered GPR data.
Programmer/Tech. Consultant Jan. 2011 — Aug. 2011
Deloitte Consulting, Hattiesburg, MS
Developed tools for insurance policy filing and regulation. Web development, Javascript, C#.
Skills
Matlab+mex, C/C++, Python.
Frequent use of methods for machine learning, statistics, and image processing. Familiar with differential
geometry, computer vision, various areas of pure and applied math, algorithms, and sparse and numerical
linear algebra.
Speaking, writing, and design skills.

Hobbies & Interests
I enjoy running and tennis for exercise. For enjoyment I like board games, books, and playing/listening
to music. I also like to go hiking and camping. I have been involved in the interests and welfare of
the CISE department during the past 4 years as the Secretary of ASCIE Grad Student Organization
(4/2012—1/2014) and COE Grad Student Council Representative (1/2014—1/2015).
